(For all the info you could ever want on Fyre Festival, the infamous failed luxury music event in spring 2017, two documentaries dropped in January. If you haven’t seen them: Netflix here, Fyre Fraud on Hulu here. You can also check out the Wikipedia here)

Around the 13:25 mark of the podcast, McFarland began talking about… the New York Islanders.

“They just advanced to the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs Sunday night. So, pumped for them.”

They, of course, advanced due to this goal scored by current Toronto Maple Leafs forward… John Tavares.

Now, the podcast was posted likely a few weeks after recording, as McFarland said the team advanced “Sunday night” (April 24th, the night of Tavares’ goal) and the interview was posted May 7, when the Islanders were already down 3-1 to Tampa Bay in the second round, which they ended up losing in five games.

Regardless, McFarland had a longstanding partnership with the Islanders.

During New York Islanders games at the shiny Barclays Center, hundreds of seats in the front rows are not filled by rich businessmen in suits or dolled-up celebrities or even die-hard, season ticket holder hockey fans. They are occupied by millennials living well beyond their means and loving every minute of it.

And hey, there’s this little tidbit: once he got charged for, you know, wire fraud and all that other stuff, McFarland used… the same lawyer as former Islanders owner John Spano, who owned the Islanders for about one season before being kicked out of the NHL for fraud reasons.
